In June, costs remained steady, following a slight uptick in May after two straight months of gradual decline.
The UAE has officially announced fuel prices for July. Rates remained unchanged in June, following a slight increase in May. That uptick had followed two consecutive months of gradual price drops.
Earlier projections hinted at a possible price hike for July, driven by rising global crude costs in mid-June. Renewed geopolitical tensions triggered the surge—specifically the conflict between Israel and Iran, followed by U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
Effective July 1, the UAE has rolled out new fuel prices, reflecting a noticeable increase across all categories. These rates are crucial for industries relying on heavy machinery, transport, and site operations:
- Super 98 petrol: Dh2.70/litre (up from Dh2.58 in June)
- Special 95 petrol: Dh2.58/litre (up from Dh2.47)
- E-Plus 91 petrol: Dh2.51/litre (up from Dh2.39)
- Diesel: Dh2.63/litre (up from Dh2.45)
Since deregulating fuel prices in 2015, the UAE adjusts rates monthly in line with global market trends. These changes directly impact operational costs for contractors, logistics providers, and industries that rely heavily on equipment.
